PHP 5.2.17 Release Announcement

The PHP development team would like to announce the immediate
availability of PHP 5.2.17.

This release resolves a critical issue, reported as PHP bug #53632,
where conversions from string to double might cause the PHP interpreter
to hang on systems using x87 FPU registers.

The problem is known to only affect x86 32-bit PHP processes, regardless
of whether the system hosting PHP is 32-bit or 64-bit. You can test
whether your system is affected by running this script
from the command line.

All users of PHP are strongly advised to update to these versions
immediately.
